DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.
JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT,
HON. GEORGE SHARSWOOD,
PIitLADELPHIA.
Repudiating Contracts.
As an exchange remarks, the Republi
can papers of the State have discovered a
terrible mare's nest in the legal opinion of
Judge Sharswood on the question wheth
er greenbacks are a legal tender; that, is,
to illustrate the matter, if John Smith
lends to Thomas Jones one hundred dol
lars-in gold, he agreeing in writing or
otherwise, to discharge the debt in like
money, shall Jones be, allowed to repay
his friend •Smith in greenbacks, they be
rit - ErB - t. 7 - An—arty-Fur cu. r
This was the question before Judge
Sharswood, and he promptly decided tnat
no such fraud should be commi lied.
What you lend me a hundred dollars
in gold to-day with a positive promise on
my part that I will repay you in gold to
morrow, and then, when4o-morrow comes
I shall be allowed to step forward and
discharge the debt in paper promises to
111 -paper depreciated to the extent of
one third its face ? The idea is simply
preposterous. And this is the extent to
which the Sherwood opinion goes.
Bat the friends of the nutmeg candi
date, Judge Williams, of Connecticut, in
their foolish endeavors to break down
Sharswood, have sprung upon themselves
a most effectual trap. The whole eof the
story, in a nutshell, is this :
The county of Allegheny, embracing
the Pittsburg region, where Williams
lives, issued its bonds, for certain im
profements in the County. After the mat
ter was over, the bonds issued, and mon
ey raised on the same, this man Williams
does not deny that he was in favor of repudi
ating the bonds ; thereby cheating his
neighbors and friends who had loaned
the money for the purpose of improving
the very region in which he lived. Truly this
Yankee trick was worthy the best days
of his witch-burning ancostors.
The German Radicals Leaving the
Republican Party.
At a German meeting held in Chicago,
the other night, Herman Raster, editor of
the Illinois Stoats Zeitung, made a speech.
Referring to the fanaticism of the Radical
party, he said: "As he had advised his
German friends to leave the Democratic
party in 1854, as eagerly would he now
advise hia2German fellow Republicans of
1868 to part company with a party that
has recklessly adulterated its national pro
gramme by New England sectionalism."
The Germans -are rapidly cutting loose
from Radicalism. The "stupid Dutch"
are beginning to understand the Yankees
in the West as they do in this State.—
Judge Williams, of Connecticut., cannot
deceive them in Pennsylvania.
Zilitary Appointments.
Gen. Grant, acting Secretary of War,
has issued orders in compliance with the
wishes of the President as follows:
In consequence of the illness of General
Thomas, be has assigned General Hancock
to General Sheridan's place. The latter
is ordered to report at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas, for service under Gen. Sherman.
General Hancock assumes command of
General Sheridan's department tempora
rily. So soon as Gen. Thomas recovers
from his illness he will proceed to New
Orle4ns under the original order, No. 71.
Gen. Canby.has been assigned to the
command of the Second Military District,
Q.L.1.113 iroliavod 3 ovaa
it is believed that Gen. Hancock or Gen.
Meade
. will shortly receive orders to re
lieve the windy and incompetent Gen.
Pope, in command of the Third Military
lifaiarchY, consisting of the States of
Georgia, Alabama„,M.ississippi, and Flor
ida. Sickles is ordered to proceed to
New York, and report by letter to the
Adjutant General.
It is said that Judge Williams, the
Radical candidate for the Supreme Court,
wrote a letter to the Negro Equal Rights
convention, which met in Reading last
week, in which he promised the darkies
his personal and official (if elected) influ
ence to secure for them equal political
rights' in Pennsylvania. The receipt of
tha letter is acknowledged upon the ruin
ideal, we are informed, but it was deemed
jaexpedient to give it publicity. If such
letter has been written by the Judge to
ihemtgrces, Should be published as an
ire of justice - to the white voters of the
te•
• y..--Despite grand " Moral ideas," the
morality status of the New England
States , is getting 'very low. Quite a num
ber of most revolting crimes have lately
been perpetrated in that section.
'Stanton.
In the autumn of ;1861, nearly six
months subsequent to the breaking,ont o f
the war, and some two months after the
battle of But Run, Mr.. Edwin M. Stan
ton, late of the. War Department, was a
leading Democratic politician in Wash
ington, and that time he denounced, in
unsparing tents, the policy and con
duct of the Republican Party.
A very few months subsequent to this
period he became a member of Mr. Lin
coln's Cabinet, and then insisted that the
Republican party bad all the time been
pure and patriotic, and bad been acting in
the strictest conformity to the Constitu
tion. He was 'assigned to the War De
partment, where he is said to have exhib
ited energy and activity in the business of
recruiting, equipping, transporting and
supplying the armies, bat where he also
proved himself to be a compound of bru
tal passion, pitiless malignity and cold
blooded selfishness. The' tyrannical use
which he made of 'power when dealing
with the weak and helpless, will render
his name a shame and a reproach to this
country throughout coming time, and his
refusal to exchange prisoners leaves him
forever answerable for the priva.ions and
sufferings which were endured at Ander
souvme null cierovrtmc c in tlacs Du. a/. Tice
whole truth has not yet been told on this
point, but the charge against him will be
one day overwhelmingly proven, never
more to be disputed. Some of the 'wit
nesses are those of his own household.—
Among their statements the following
one, made by Mr. Brown, of the N. Y.
Tribune, is conclusive. He says:
" Mr. Richardson and myself spent
nearly a week in the national capital after
our escape,' endeavoring to do all that
was possible for the release of the five
brave men in the hands of the enemy ;
and every one we met there told the same
story, that the Secretary of War was the
obstacle in the way of the resumption of
the exchange.
"Moreover, General Butler, in his
speech at, Lowell, Mass., stated positively
that he had been orderd to put forward
the negro question to complicate and pre
vent exchange. Col. A. B. Streight, of
Indianapolis, a fel!ow prisoner with us in
the Libby, told Mr. Richardson, after our
return to freedom, that, in an interview
between the Secretary and himself, the
former declared to him the government
could not afford to exchange able-bodied
men for skeletons. Other officers and-ci
vilians, whose names I cannot now re
member, assured me that he had used to
them the same language in effect; and
there is no doubt whatever that this was
his policy and his determination until the
clamors of the people compelled him to
retire from his barbarous position. Eve
ry one is aware that, when the exchange
dior4ake place, not the slightest alteraticn
had occurred in die question, and that
our prisoners might as well have been re
leased ci i stitoc-n oeloh.lacs ..•
resumption of the cartel, which would
, have saved to the Republic a least twelve
or fifteen thousand heroic lives: That
they were not saved is due alone to Mr.
Edwin M. Stanton's peculiar policy and
dogged obstinacy ; and, as I have before
remarked, he. is unquestionably the dig
ger of the unnamed graves that crowd
the vicinity of every Southern prison with
historic. and never to be forgotten he
roes." *
If General Grant was in his campaigns
reckless of human life, something may be
forgiven to a man who rode in the front
of battle himself. But what an infamous
Memory does he deserve who, in the safe .
recesses of his office, coolly consigned to
ageny, and death thousands of those for
wlioai be was hypocritically professing his
warmest love and admiration.
More of the Radical Tax Swindle.
Northampton county, which paid $5,-
962.87 in taxes to the State for 1806, and
the same amount ror 1867, has been called
upon for the sum bf $7,796.59 extra, for
each of .those years, by the Radical State
officials. In 18,66 the people of North
ampton county paid 85,962.87, but for
1867 they are.'required to pay $21,556.95
—more than three-and-a-half times more
than the former amount ! Besides this,
the same original assessment that was
paid in 1866 is demanded for 1867, show
ing that the real estate tax has not been
remitted, but is demanded in addition to
the extra =opts.
The demand for such vast sums of
money from , the several counties of,the
Commonwealth shows, most unmistaka
bly, the immensity of ? Radical extrava
gance, not to say robbery, during the
past . three or four years. had State
affairs been properly managed no such
demands would be necessary. Will the
taxpayers continue to support a party
whose leaders not only double and triple
the taxes, but go back to past years with
such swindling bills, for which there is no
law and certainly no show of justice?
Judge Sharswood is opposed to
the repudiation of any contract. The Re-,
publicans of Allegheny county repudiated
a portion of the railroad bonds issued by
them for the benefit of Pittsburg, and but
for a Democratic Supreme Court, would
have - repudiated them entirely. The Pitts
burg' Post, which was the only paper in
the city that did not favor repudiation, is
the organ of the DemoCrats. It declares
that the voice of Judge Williams was
never raised to defend the rights of tru'st
ing creditors when fepudiation was at
tempted. Let that be remembered ! Let
the bondholders, make a note ofit?
- 2 -Daring Mr. Stanton's administration
scores of Radicals at Washington city
had the free use of Government horses
for use or pleasure, without'a cent of cost
to themselves. This is now stopped, and
the expensive stud will be dispensed with
in future.
IFacts for Taxpayers.
The Legislature of 1847, under the ad
ministration of Gov. Shunk, Democrat,
cost only $57,819.19.
The'Legislature of 1867, under the ad-
Ministration of Gov. Geary, Radical, cost
$265,061.16.
From these figures it will be seen tbat
the Radical Legislature under a Radical
Governor has cost MORE THAN FOUR AND
oNE-13,1Lx . times a greater sum than a
Democratic legislature under a Democrat
ic governor.
_. Is it possible that the people of Penn
sylvania will longer tolerate such bare
faced robbery of the Treasury. If the
so-called Union League were avowedly a
band of thieves and the Radical party
composed of robbers, a worse state of
tiffairs could not be expected.
Besides this the Radical Legislature of
1867 passed an appropriation bill amount
ing to the enormous snim of over three
million dollars, hundreds of thousands of
which should have remained in the Trea
sury to pay off the State debt and to re
lieve the people of future taxation. After
thus depleting the State Treasury of every
available cent, this same Radical adminis
tration has now gone back to 1866—one
year after making the triennial assess
ment, and after the regular assessment of
State tax for 1866 had been paauand
demanded from each county an addi tional
amount of tax, in many instances equal to
and in some greater than the original tax
assessment. The same demand has also
been made for 1867, and thus not less then
six hundred thousand dollars additional
State tax will have to be paid this year by
the people in order to meet the reckless
extravagance and rascality of Radical
politicians. How do the taxpayers like
this prospect ?
Reports from six counties in regard to
this matter form the following startlincr
exhibit :
Tax. 1867. Extra. 186174.
Allegheny $7,690 20 $.51,086 12
Berke 8,724 28 10,8119 08
Fayette 5,275 00 • 10,342 00
Indiana 5,476 81 4.113 40
Westmoreland 3,534 30 10.908 46
Tork S 648 28 10,932 78
$36,649 87 ' $1082,151 fl• 1
. 36,649 87
Total tax and extra for 1867
Regular tax paid in 1666 ...
Increase for 186 over 1518
From the above it will be seen that
taxation for the prexent year is almost trebled
in six counties of the Stale! In 1866 the
tgx on real and personal estate for the
whole Commonwealth, including the one
half mill tax, (*39,914,) was $919,258 00.
[See Auditor General's Report for 1867.]
From this the reader may easily guess the
grand total which the Radical officials
hope to wrest from the taxpayers—some
thing like $2,700,000 001 It may as well
be remarked that the tax on real estate,
which was remitted by the Legislature in
1866, seems not to have been taken off for
1867, as the general assessment for this
gear is the same as that for 1866. Are
Cr people prepareu iur Lucas gigaurcrc
burdens ?
But, this is not all. Those same Radi
cal officials authorized a State loan of
twenty-three million dollars, with which
to pay off a similar amount of the old
debt. They made their loan free from
State tax, and agreed to pay six per cent.
interest. This is to go to cancel the old
loan upon which the State had always
levied a tax. By this scheme the State is
directly robbed of an annual sum of fully
$450,000, and nobody but Radical poli
ticians of capital are the gainers.
Can the people stand such a course of
depletion of State revenues on the one
hand and increase of taxation upon the
other? They cannot. It is impossible.
There must be retrenchment—there must
be reform—there must be a great change
made in the Legislature. For four years,
during which the Radical politicians have
dominated, matters have gone from bid
to worse, until the people are fairly
groaning beneath the burden of taxation.
If the people do not make a change at
once, a grievous poll tax, and a grinding
revenue and income tax, like those levied
by the Federal Goveriment, will become
absolutely necessary to raise money enough
to satisfy the rapacious cravings of the
Radical politicians. These aro simply
" words of soberness and truth," and if
the people are wise they will heed them
and give the subject that attention which
it demands.
Another Threat!
Old Thad is on the rampage again. The
following threat from the malignant Dic
tator and Disunionist appeared among the
regular dispatches from New York a short
time ago: .
"Thaddens Stevens writes that he will
offer a bill at the next session, providing
for the confiscation of the estates of those
rebels and slaveholders who discharge
their negroes for voting the Republican
ticket."
—While Stevens was in Congress, years
ago, as a .Whig member, workmen were
discharged by their employers in his own
county and in New England for voting
the Democratic ticket; and one of his
constituents—a prominent Republican of
Lancaster—offered a resolutiod in the so
called " tnion" League during the late
war, that the Republicans should (tease
having any business or social relations
with Democrats. But nobody then dream
ed of visiting them with legal penalties
for so doing.- We live in a different era
now, however, under the despotism of the
negro:loving "party of freedom and pro
gress." It was all right then to persecute
and proscribe white men for exercising
the right of suffrage in accordance with
their own judgment; but it is all wrong
now to administer the same kind of medi
eine to Sambo! The negro is a peg higher
in the estimation of Stevens and his party
than the poor white laboring man, and
must be
_protected at the expense of the
latter. The world keeps moving, along,
and great is Old Thad the Dictator!
A New Work on Book Keeping,
AND A NEW AND IMPROVED SYSTEM OF
We have, on various occasions, taken
great pleasure and pride in alluding to
the eminent success and increasing pat
: ronacre ofihis decidedly praiscworthy and
progressive institution, "The Elmira 14
siiiess College, Elmira, N. Y."
( The Principal of this College, Prof. A.
-, J. Warner, has nearly completed for the
use of this Institution and the Counting
I Houses', a new work, of several hundred
pages, on Double and Single Entry Book
Keeping.
It, will
.prove a valuable work, embra
cing improved and labor-saving forms, a
new classification of accounts,
commer
cial correspondenoe, a thorough course of
commercial calculatiops and business
forms; and to it will be appended what
has long been needed—a Commercial
Diet iouary.
In addition to this, Prof. Warner has
already arranged, to aid in the success of
this College, a new and improved system
of Business Penmanship, free from orna
ments, plain and legible.
In addition to the manifold other at
tractions, arrangements have been made
whereby the students will be permitted to
attend the course of Lectures, free of
charge. The Lectures have been selected
from the most profound writers and ora
tors of the age.
Every .effur t is being made to place this
College on a basis that will render it wor
thy the name it bears, and at the same
time stand second to none in the whole
country.
No better recommendation is needed
than the fact that both in Elmira and pla
ces adjacent, the graduates of this Insti
tution occupy the very first positions.—
This school has already given the di&rent
offices, banks, mercantile houses, and oth
er business places, in this part of the coun
try, their best clerks, and some of them,
though fresh from the College, ate receiv
ing salaries of XBOO to $lOOO per year.—

The Journal quotes the following reso
lution of the late Democratic County
Meeting, and denounces it as a "Secesh
Resolution," intended "to pave the way
for another rebellion":
"Resolved, that the maintenance invi
olate of the rights of the States, and es
pecially the right of each State to order
and control its own domestic institutions
according to its own judgment exclusive
ly, is essential to that balance of power on
•,,rrivii pvrircuun aini tnIT
political fabric depends."
The Journal will hardly be prepared for
the information that this resolution, now
so offensive to it, is copied, word for word,
from the Chicago Republican Platform of
1880, upon which Mr. Lincoln was nomi
nated and elected, and which the Journal
of May 26, 1860, endorsed as " a platfm-m
which we pre sure will be acceptable on all
sides." Doti our neighbor mean, by his
present denunciation of the resolution, to
insinuate that the Republicans were a
"Secesh Party" in 1860? Probably not.
But the awkward trap into which he has
fallen proves that it takes a more wide
awake editor than he is, to keep the run
of the ever-changing "principles" of his
part y.—Reading Gazette.

The Exchange of Prisoners.
The telegraphic dispatch from Gen.
Grant to Gen. Butler, in August, 1864, is
reproduced in the New York Tribune, as
forming part of Gen. Butler's report to
the Committee of Congress - in relation to
the exchange of prisoners. The, Tribune
says :
"In August the rebels offered to re
new the exchange, man for man. Gen.
Grant then . telegraphed the following im
portant order : 'lt is hard on our men
held in Southern prisons not to exchange
them, but it is humanity to those left in
ranks to fight our baffles. Every man re
leased on parole or otherwise becomes an
active soldier against .us at once, either
directly or indirectly. If we commence a
system of exchange which liberates all
prisoners taken, we will have to tight on
till the whole South is exterminated. If
we hold those caught, they amount to no
more than dead men. At this particular
time to release - all rebel prisoners North
would insure Sherrnan's defeat, and would
compromise our safety here.' "
This is a clear avowal of a policy, and
appears to relieve the Confederate author
ities of the responsibility which it has
been attempted to fasten on them of refu
sing to make an exchange.
—The "Equal Rights League of Penn
sylvania" (negro) endorses Judge Wil
liams. At the late meeting of the league
in Philadelphia, it was declared by one of
the speakers that if elected he would use
his official position to secure suffrage and
all political privileges for the negroes in
this State. It was resolved that the in
fluence of the association should be thrown
in his favor.
—The Negro Bureau is constantly
sending tiegree's into the Northern States
—distributing them in small lots at a time
to prevent notice. This is evidently done
in view of the fact that the Rump Con
gress intends, at its neat session, to en
force negro suffrage upon all the States.
Judge Williams, the Radical candidate,is
an ally in the scheme, and should there
fore be defeated at the polls.

THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE 8011 Ls
As an Investment.
The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad,
now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and form
ing, with Its western connections, an unbroken line
across the continent, attracts attention to the value of
the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now
offer to the public. The first question asked by pro.
dent investOts is, "Are these bonds secure?" But,
"Are they a profitable Investment?" To reply In
brief:
Ist. The early completion of the whole great line to
the Pacific It as certain as any future business event
can be. The Government grant of ores t wenty Million
acres of land and fifty million dollars in its own bonds
practically g,narantees it. One fourth of the work is
already done. and the track continues to be laid at the
rate of two miles a day.
2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are leaned op.
on what promises to he one of the most profitable lines
of railroad in the country. For many years it must be
the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific; sad
b ing without competition, it can maintain remunera
tive rates.
3d. 425 miles of this road are finished, and fully
equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, &c., and two
trains are daily running each way. The materials for
the remaining 92 nines to the eastern haseof the Rocky
Mountains are on band, and it is under contract to be
done in September.
4th. The net earnings of the sections already finished
are sereral time greater than the gold interest upon the
First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and If tot
another mite of the road were built, the part already
completed would not only p y Interest and expenses,
but be profitable to the Company.
sth. The Cnion Pacific Railroad bonds can he issued
only as the road progresses. and therefore can never be
in the market unless they represent a bcna fide property.
6th. The irnmonnt is strictly limited by law to a atm
equal to what is granted by the U. S. Government, and
for which it takes a second lien as its securit y. This
amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is
only $l6OlO per mile.
7th. The.fact that the U. S. Government considers a
second lien upon the road a good investment, and that
some of theshrea den railroad builders of the country
have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock
(which is to.them a third lien), may well inspire eon&
deuce inn first lien.
Ath. Although it is not cialrogd that there can be soy
better securities than Governments, there are parties
Al ho consider a first mortgage upon such a property se
this the •ery best security in the world, and who sell
their Governments to re•invest in these bonds—thus
securing a greater interest.
9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered
for the present at 90 cents on the dollar and accrued In.
terest, th-y are the cheapest security in the market,
being more than 15 per cent. less than B. S. Stocks.
10th. At the current rate of premium on gold, they
pay
Over
,Nine per Cent. Interest.
